In Rome…finally

Well, we are here. Finally!
Had plane troubles, had to de-board plane and wait for another, left almost 4 hours late.
We got to Rome airport and found out none of the trains were working- so we blew our money on a taxi
My blackberry wasn’t working (which is now fixed) and I still can’t my free wi-fi working!!
So, I am posting this (sans photos) from my Blackberry!!
Based on the fact that both times we have come to Rome, getting here has been a nightmare, we are convinced that it is destined to be that way for us. Must have set a precedent with our first debacle.
We did have time to stroll around our neighborhood, take some great pictures, eat pizza al taglio, gelato and a wonderful al fresco dinner at La Piazzetta.
Thursday is gnocchi day, so we had gnocchi with tomato basil and one with butter and sage, salads, house red, bread and a selection of homemade mini pastries for dessert- 38 Euro!
Weather is hot and sticky-but we are taking it slow and drinking water that we fill into our water bottles from the cute fountain in front of our palazzo!
Off to the Campo dei Fiori and Pantheon area today and dinner with Jessica from WhyGoItaly.
As soon as I can figure out my wifi situation, I promise to post some pics!!
Ciao a presto!
